A mechanically type question thing.

Sir hasn't even dipped Sir's toe into the waters of inaccessibility,
Sir hasn't.

Okay, then, change the brake pads and the plugs. I'll give you a day.

Granted, you don't have to take off the rad to get at the plugs, like
on the Blackbird, but you do have to remove six fairing sections.

It's three bolts and two wiring connections each side to get to *see*
the brake calipers at the front, and you'd want the whole back end out
of the way to do the rears.

Also, bleeding the rear caliper is a little awkward, as it's on the
opposite side to the pedal. Not as far away as the linked front left
caliper, though. At least the reservoir's easily accessible, behind
the side panel, rather than requiring complete removal of the whole
tail section as on the B'bird, which is *no* fun when you've got a
Givi rack bolted on, too.

An air filter change requires removal of the whole top section, inc.
the stereo, but you can't get that off until you've unbolted the seat.

Let's not get started on the cruise system filter element, or the air
compressor drier canister, and as for the clutch ... don't, just
don't, okay.

Simplicity personified. Everything's visible before you start.

Spread along the five miles of road that you've just ridden along.

 

Five? That sounds like a good 'un.

I was in a 'being nice to people with nasty unreliable 2-strokes' mood.
I feel your pain brother Dodger.
